sat down with Dr. Joshua Rhodes, author of "The Economic Impact of Renewable Energy and Energy Storage in Rural Texas." Great conversation! TAB supports an all-the-above energy strategy.
40% of US corn, grown on an area the size of England, is for fuel ethanol production https://bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-01-24/a-3-6-billion-ev-charging-boost-is-still-a-missed-opportunity?cmpid=BBD012423_hyperdrive&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&utm_term=230124&utm_campaign=hyperdrive&sref=JMv1OWqN…
In a new report that includes several #TexasEngineers, researchers lay out the case for #geothermal energy—naturally occurring heat energy in the Earth’s subsurface—as the next big source of clean energy in Texas, with the ability to scale globally: https://bit.ly/3j2Ydg9
Today, the @PUCTX passed a major reform to the state's electricity market, because SB3 told them to... an hour later, the author of SB3 says, nope.

Ironically, EE is very well suited to PCM because it's so unpredictable when the hours will occur. It will be hard to have DR programs that move load for one hour bc you don't know which hour will earn a PC. Insulation, HVAC upgrades would reduce demand across many hours.
y’all have to figure this out, getting spam texts is annoying, but HOW DO THEY HAVE ACCESS TO THE FLASH SMS SYSTEM? No one is ever going to pay attention to emergency alerts if this keeps happening!
